SUMMARY:AI Defense: Chicago
DESCRIPTION:
 Cisco's AI Defense Workshop covers how to use the Cisco 3-st
 ep framework—Discovery\, Detection\, and Protection—to secure the AI l
 ifecycle. Participants will practice running algorithmic red teaming simul
 ations\, scanning model files for malicious payloads\, and configuring run
 time guardrails. The workshop also covers securing agentic workflows using
  the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to prevent goal hijacking and context po
 isoning.
 What to expect
 You will work through the workshop as a Senior
  Security Engineer at PseudoCo\, a fictional organization deploying genera
 tive and agentic AI across its enterprise. The workshop covers four use ca
 ses and fifteen success criteria.
 The workshop includes:
 
 AI asset d
 iscovery using Cisco AI Defense
 Algorithmic red teaming to test models f
 or prompt injection\, jailbreaking\, and harmful content generation
 Mode
 l file scanning for embedded threats in .pkl\, .h5\, and .onnx files

  Runtime policy configuration to block PII\, PHI\, and PCI data leaks
 MC
 P server scanning for vulnerabilities and intent-based threats
 Agentic p
 rotection against tool poisoning\, prompt injection\, and rug pull attacks
 
 Side-by-side testing of Monitor and Enforce policy modes using the AI D
 efense Demo Runner
 
 Who should attend
 
 Security engineers and arch
 itects
 AI and ML platform owners
 Application security teams
 IT and s
 ecurity leaders responsible for AI governance
 
 What you will learn
 

 
 How Cisco AI Defense applies the Discovery\, Detection\, and Protection 
 framework to AI systems
 How to validate models before deployment and pro
 tect them at runtime
 How to detect and block agentic AI threats specific
  to MCP-based architectures
 How to build runtime policies that enforce d
 ata protection and content safety
